The Student Housing community is a place that promotes a safe and peaceful environment that supports the academic success of students as well as their personal and social development. We aim to ensure that it is inclusive, responsible, and respectful. The Student Housing Community Living Standards (HCLS) has been created by Campus Living Centres in consultation with students and staff at colleges and universities across Canada to ensure the Student Housing environment at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) achieves this goal.
